Truly a kind, caring, and strong person. If you were a friend of Phil’s, she was a friend of yours. I’ll miss her hugs followed by a “How’ve you been?” In her classic Irish drawl. Wishing everyone in the family strength during this tough time.

So sorry to hear about Heather. I worked with her many years at Einstein. She was always so kind to patients and staff. Heather was a wonderful person and fun to be with. I loved her Irish accent. She’ll be truly missed.
